The jig works well, as expected. The box containing the screws was broken in transit and part of the jig had surface damage caused by parts rubbing together. Not the end of the world but disappoint... See more

Always surprisingly quick delivery and had everything I needed. They’ve shown really good customer service when I had a minor problem with a previous order.

Good drill, easy to assemble.

Pillar drill delivery was good and it was easy to assemble, I was able to mount the top section on my own but it is fairly heavy. I found that the front to back squareness of drill bit to platform needed a little forward tension applying to the top section while tightening the grub screws. I had a small knob spare which was not shown in the instructions, I ended up using it to replace the screw on the belt cover as by far easier than needing a screwdriver every time. Only used so far for a couple of test holes but operates well and I like the 16mm chuck. Fingers crossed for the future.
